About iPastels

The pastel medium has been around for several centuries, with roots as old as mankind.
An ever-increasing number of artists have since discovered the rich colors and expressiveness of pastel painting.

This app will let you create beautiful digital works of art, especially if you're a talented artist.
If you're not, iPastels will keep you entertained until you become one through practice and experience!
Simulating soft (chalk) pastels, oil pastels and color blending, the iPastels app tries to be as realistic as possible.

Actual pastelists can use iPastels to try out ideas and compositions before starting on a new painting in real life.
Beginners will be able to practise and refine their skills, without the added cost of pastel sticks and specialty papers.

One of the most widely used techniques in pastel is to use your finger to blend the colors into each other right on the paper, as part of the painting process.
Using iPastels, paint with different colors and then use Smudge (the finger) or the Cotton Swab to blend and smoothen the colors.
This produces amazing results!

Dear Artist,

We regularly search for "iPastels" on image hosting websites/communities like
deviantART,
flickr
and
Instagram
and add links to paintings that, for one reason or another, catch our eyes.

To qualify, your painting has to be created using our app iPastels and uploaded to an image hosting website/community. You also need to mention "iPastels" somewhere in the description, in a tag or in the title when you upload it (otherwise, we won't be able to find it).

The featured paintings above are all copyright their respective artists.
They are generally not hosted on this website, only linked to.
If you want us to remove a link to your painting, or if its details (title, name of artist) are incorrect, please let us know.
